Students with learning disabilities are generally unhappy at
school. This was one finding of research conducted in Queensland,
Australia in government and non-government schools. A low stakes
Rasch analysis of teacher attitudes and understanding about these
students revealed uniformly negative perceptions and minimal
understanding of student characteristics. Increased understanding
did not improve teacher attitudes. Affected students, their parents
and teachers were also interviewed. Students told of mostly
negative experiences at school. Teachers uniformly believed that
schools were performing well and were inclusive. Parents wanted
their children to be happy. Long and short term recommendations
were made aimed at increasing teacher capacity and changing
existing school culture.
